Redbull R56 Spotted in the Wild.

I saw this today on my way home from work, has anyone else seen anything like it? I thought it was neat but I can't imagine how much that body work cost!

I'd love to get my hands on one, take the can off and drive it. Who does their conversions for that?


Did he/she at least beep at you?

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder what it would drive like with all that weight cut off.

There were two really young girls driving it actually. They both smiled and waved.
